Farmhouse Inspired DIY LOVE Sign

Home Decor· Valentine's Day· Wood

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so I wanted to get started right away with my decorating.  First project of the year, this simple Valentine DIY love sign.

Since the farmhouse style is so popular right now I wanted to make a farmhouse style DIY love sign. But I wanted it to be a sign you can keep up all year long.  This sign is absolutely perfect for that!

diy-love-sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-0Let’s get started!!

Supplies needed to make your own DIY love sign:

ClickLinks1

  • Unfinished 12×12 Wood Shadowbox
  • Cricut Vinyl Sampler Roll
  • White Americana Decor Chalky Paint
  • Silhouette Cameo
  • Transfer Paper
  • Wood Stain
  • Paint Brush

DIY-LOVE-Sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6I gathered all my supplies up first for this craft and was so excited to use this shadow box!

I used a dark walnut stain for my shadow box and  I only needed one coat of stain.  Let dry 3 hours.

DIY-LOVE-Sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7Next, I cut out my stencil in vinyl using my Silhouette Cameo.  I wanted to use a basic font for my “LOVE.”  I weeded the excess vinyl so that only the letters would be left.

DIY-LOVE-Sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-8I added some transfer paper on top of my letters.  This helps with transferring the letters to your wood.  Since I cut everything to 12×12 it made it easy to center my “LOVE” perfectly in the middle.

Make sure to smooth it down so that your vinyl will stick to your wood. You can use a credit card or if you have the Silhouette tool already.

DIY-LOVE-Sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-9Now it’s time to add your paint!!  I used chalk paint for this project.  I always love using chalk paint for my signs.  It really gives it the look I want. I did a total of two coats, letting each coat dry 30 minutes.

DIY-LOVE-Sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-11The fun part!! Peeling up your letters for the big DIY love sign reveal.

DIY-LOVE-Sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-12This DIY love sign was exactly the look I was going for.  Perfect for a Valentine’s mantle but also something you can keep up all year if you wanted.

diy-love-sign-farmhouse-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1When I first saw this shadow box I knew it would be perfect to use for a farmhouse inspired sign.  Everyone loves the look of farmhouse signs (Thank’s Chip and Joanna), but not everyone has the tools to make them.  So this is a great frame to use to get the farmhouse look!
